The Government of Alberta is seeking feedback on the province's draft Kindergarten to Grade 6 (K-6) curriculum and the draft K-6 social studies design blueprint. Starting next week, Alberta Education will be hosting virtual engagement sessions in each region of the province.
They are additionally hosting a virtual information session on Tuesday, February 8, from 7 to 8:15 pm on the draft K-6 social studies design blueprint and draft K-6 curriculum. To register, go to https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GEnYaGesQ76omhMh4NDUYQ. The government is also inviting Albertans to complete an online survey to provide feedback on the draft K-6 social studies design blueprint and draft K-6 curriculum by going to https://extranet.gov.ab.ca/opinio6//s?s=public2021EN.
During each engagement session, one draft K-6 subject or the draft K-6 Social Studies design blueprint will be considered.
